An outstanding observation of the obvious. Why is Direct RDRAM the heir apparent to 100-MHz SDRAM? First, it's the one Intel has chosen. And given the company's increasing dominance as the manufacturer of the building blocks of the PC platform, Intel can certainly influence the type of memory the industry will use going forward. But practically speaking, Intel's support is almost incidental, because Direct RDRAM appears to be the only architecture that can provide the performance necessary for the next generation of processors. Equally important, it offers enough headroom to support several more years of processor innovation.
